Today I’d like to introduce you to a fabulous, clean eating blogger named Olena. She was kind enough to share her Clean Eating Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Lettuce Cups with Mango Salsa recipe here so please give her a warm welcome.

Hi guys. My name is Olena and I have a blog with clean and simple recipes – iFOODreal. Originally from Ukraine, I now live in Vancouver, Canada with my husband and 2 little boys. Passionate about clean eating, obviously, and working out while trying to be a super mom and wife. I start to think it isn’t possible though…Oh, well.

Just like Tiffany, I create quick and healthy recipes with kids in mind. When Tiffany graciously offered to share one of my summer recipes with you, I immediately thought of a quick dinner. In fact, I always think what to make for dinner, don’t you?!

If you think a slow cooker is only for creating cold weather comfort food, think twice. I recently found it to be the best kitchen device for hot summer days – you plug it in outside and come back home to a cool house and a ready healthy dinner.

Like these Mexican Chicken Lettuce Cups with Mango Salsa. Lean chicken slow cooked in a mild sauce with your favourite Latin flavours, scooped in a crisp lettuce cup and topped with sweet Mango Salsa. And don’t forget the extra Tabasco sauce or diced jalapeños on top.

And this chicken recipe is highly versatile. For myself, I serve chicken in a lettuce cup but my boys, who do not watch carbs in the evening, love it on a corn or whole wheat tortilla with cheese on top. It’s up to you. You could even serve the salsa with tortilla chips at your next summer BBQ party. Any way you decide to serve this dish, I hope you find it easy and delicious, just like I did.
